Sale at Auction

From a Lingen newspaper dated August 5, 1882 a short article had been written regarding an auction sale of the following property by Witwe Wessling of Stadtflur. This event would have marked one of the final acts of our Wessling ancestors in Lingen a.d. Ems, as the Widow Wessling had sold her house and land on August 10, 1882. She, along with her 3 daughters, later sailed on September 5, 1882 aboard the Steam Ship "Neckar" from Bremerhafen for Boston, Massachusetts via the port of New York.
